Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After living by himself for a number of years, my father asked to move into care. Since moving into Barchester Harton Grange Care Home, his overall well-being has improved tremendously. He feels sage and secure and has started to interact with others. The care home is spotless, well-lit and lovely and
warm. The staff are outstanding, nothing is too much trouble and they are excellent with the residents. It is a huge relief to know he is safe, happy and contented.

Barchester Harton Grange Care Home is a fabulous care home. The staff are all amazing and are wonderful carers. They are not only "carers", they actually "care". I would not hesitate in recommending this home to friends.
The home is well-managed and immaculately clean.

My mam has been a resident at your wonderful home since 2017 and I could not be happier. All the staff are amazing and welcoming with a smile for both residents and visitors. The food is excellent, especially Friday fish and chips. The areas and rooms are always clean and tidy with well-equipped furniture.
I visited many homes prior to yours and Barchester Harton Grange Care Home was the outstanding choice, this was backed up recently by my mam's social worker. Well done.

Harton Grange staff are caring and have a lot of dignity and empathy for patients. The manager is always hands on and there if you need advice. I would definitely recommend this home to families looking for care and compassion for their mother/father.

Extract regarding my dad:
"My dad spent his final few days in the loving care of Barchester Harton Grange Care Home. His stay was brief but dedicated staff worked tirelessly to look after my dad and support the family."
My mother and I are grateful for the compassion and kindness shown by all at Harton
Grange.
Thank you.

I cannot praise the staff enough for the care given to my mother. From the catering staff, laundry team, carers, entertainment team and senior managers, my mother is treated with immense respect, dignity and mostly love. She has made new friends and has a new outlook on life, which at 93 years old is
so lovely to see. I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing facility and the people who work there. Thank you.

I was very impressed with the care and effort made to offer entertainment and trips out for suitable residents that fit their particular needs. If I had to make a slightly negative thought, it would be the amount of paperwork the girls have to do, which obviously takes them away from the residents.

Could use many words and all extremely complimentary - the care given to my mum has been way beyond expectation. From management to entertainment, to chefs and all the angel carers. Fantastic and a credit to Barchester - Such a comfort to know Mum is in a home-from-home, only better. I notice the carers
have a lot of paperwork, taking them away from residents - only negative.

Was very disappointed that not one member of staff was there to represent the care home at my relative's funeral despite the fact that the crematorium was literally around the corner, I thought she was a much-loved resident of the home having been there many years. The home, when I visited, was lovely
and the staff very caring so you can understand I found this very upsetting!

My mum who is 89, absolutely loves Harton Grange. Her ensuite room is lovely and always clean. The staff are always smiling and friendly and Mum loves the meals and activities. It's always a joy to see Mum's happy face. I would recommend Harton Grange to anyone in need of such a facility. There is excellent
security with entry and each ward section is only accessible via a staff member's card.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Barchester Harton Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.938 for Barchester Harton Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (363 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 384 Ratings = 4.938
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Harton Grange Care Home is based on 32 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 32 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
